SKILLET CHICKEN TORTELLINI ALFREDO
Store-bought tortellini are the star of this quick and creamy weeknight meal. They simmer in their own sauce, making this a one-skillet meal with easy cleanup. Try one-inch pieces of Italian sausage instead of chicken for a variation.

SAUSAGE TORTELLINI ALFREDO
A wonderful combination of rich alfredo sauce and three cheese tortellini -with veggies and Italian sausage to make matters worse (or better!). This is not for the faint of heart for calories, but that's why they invented the "just a garden salad for me" lunch! :) This recipe looks fancy enough for company but uses pre-made sauces and pasta for convenience. I have used Buitoni refrigerated pasta and sauce as well as those listed in the recipe. Using homemade versions could only make it tastier!

TORTELLINI SAUSAGE ALFREDO
Nice fast meal to fix for dinner. It is from a Taste of Homes magazine. I did use frozen tortellini, left out the green pepper (DH does not like them) and use half-half cream.

BAKED TORTELLINI WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
While this baked tortellini dish requires a bit of chopping and some stove preparation, it can be refrigerated and baked longer for a ready-to-go meal. The fresh ingredients make the dish taste a thousand times more complicated and gourmet than it really is, which is another reason this large dish is great to feed a crowd. Serve with crusty bread to mop up the delicious, creamy sauce, and prepare for compliments. Even the leftovers are to die for!

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and filling is hot, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir Italian sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, breaking into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. Drain and discard grease, but do not rinse or clean the skillet. Place cooked sausage into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until slightly browned and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell peppers, zucchini, and squash; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes, Neufchatel cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat until combined and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Pour cooked tortellini into the baking dish with sausage. Add vegetable mixture and stir gently to combine. Drizzle with marinara sauce; top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the vegetables and herbs. Fresh ingredients will give your dish a more vibrant flavor and better texture.
- Quality Sausage: Opt for high-quality sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful meat. Avoid using pre-cooked or frozen sausage, as it will not have the same depth of flavor.
- Cook the Sausage Properly: Cook the sausage thoroughly until it is browned and crispy. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Use a Good Quality Alfredo Sauce: If you are not making your own Alfredo sauce, be sure to use a good quality store-bought sauce. Look for a sauce that is creamy and flavorful, and avoid sauces that are too thin or watery.
- Don't Overcook the Tortellini: Tortellini cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked tortellini will become mushy and lose its texture.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Tortellini Alfredo with Sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
